Introduction StudioFun! is a media-player based on optimized GNU/Linux distribution. It plays DVD, VCD, MP3, Audio CD and v arious other known f ile formats. You can take snapshots of video and customize the sav ed images as screensav ers. Y ou can also store the images on USB mass storage devices like flash disks and USB floppy disks. Hardware Requirements The supported hardware list of StudioFun! grows up ev ery day. So please check the hwreq.txt located in the root of StudioFun! Installation CD to get the most updated inf ormation. Installation Procedure Insert the StudioFun! Installation CD in a CD/DVD ROM drive and let the system boot through the CD. The disk will boot and bring up the grub boot loader installation menu. Two options are specified. 16 Installation This option will do the basic installation of the distribution. The installation works on pre-installed windows or GNU/Linux distribution. On selecting the ’installation’ option the installer boots and displays a dialog box indicating the space required and waits f or a confirmation. Selecting Ok will continue the installation while selecting Cancel will terminate the installation and reboot the machine. If Windows or GNU/Linux is the only OS installed on the hard disk with nof ree space, it will resize the partition, either NTFS or FAT32 or ext2, and install StudioFun!. In case the hard disk has a 128MB of f ree space available, the installation will use the f ree space. After installing the base system y ou will be prompted to select the resolution from the f ollowing choices 1. 1024x768 (recommended) 2. 800x600 3. 640x480 Select the desired resolution. The default is 1024x768f or high-end graphics. Next y ou will be prompted to choose the DVD area/region selection code. Choose this based on the ty pe of DVDs y ou will be playing. The installation procedure will then probe f or the ty pe of mouse installed. The distribution currently supports PS/2, USB and Serial mice. In case of serial mouse you will have to mov e the mouse when prompted. The other two are probed and installed automatically. The installation procedure will now finish, the CD is ejected and a dialog box prompting to reboot the machine is display ed. Press OK button and enjoy StudioFun!. 3.1.1 Error Messages 1. Media corrupted!! Please check the media! The CD-ROM is corrupted. 2. Extraction of base system failed!! Please try again later!! The CD-ROM is corrupted. 3. Unsupported hardware found, Aborting... If you try to install StudioFun! on an unsupported and undocumented hardware the abov e error message is popped. 4. No device found! This error message is given if there is no hard disk in the system. 17 Recovery In case of a MBR corruption, this option should be used. It will automatically probe the hard disk master boot record and f ind out the installed operating system(s). On success it will re-install the boot loader with correct options in the MBR. Any custom boot loader option specif iedf rom other GNU/Linux installations will get over written by the newly probed one. Booting to StudioFun! After Installation is over, remove the CD f rom the CD-ROM and restart the machine. After the machine reboots, y ou will get the GRUB boot loader menu screen. Select the StudioFun option to boot to the StudioFun! partition. After complete boot up, you get to the main Desktop screen. The f ollowing section is 18 a complete description of the Desktop application. Desktop This is the main shell of the StudioFun software.

PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations Reset Configuration Data The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations. These locations (4K) are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the “Disabled” mode. The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources controlled by function. Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals. The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled. 25 P4TCA Pro BIOS Setup Resources Controlled By By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.By Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts. IRQ Resources This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”. IRQ-3 IRQ-4 IRQ-5 IRQ-7 IRQ-9 IRQ-10 IRQ-11 IRQ-12 IRQ-14 IRQ-15 assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to assigned to PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI Device PCI / VGA Palette Snoop Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility. However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write. In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation, you should disable this option. Disabled(default) Disables the function. Enabled Enables the function. 26 P4TCA Pro BIOS Setup 8 PC Health Status Figure 8. PC Health Status Shutdown Temperature This item allows you to set up the CPU shutdown Temperature.

CPU Clock This item allows you to select CPU Clock, and CPU over clocking. 29 P4TCA Pro BIOS Setup If unfortunately, the system’s frequency that you are selected is not functioning, there are two methods of booting-up the system. Method 1: Clear the COMS data by setting the JCOMS1 ((2-3) closed)) as “ON” status. All the CMOS data will be loaded as defaults setting. Method 2: Press the <Insert> key and Power button simultaneously, after that keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the power-on screen showed. This action will boot-up the system according to FSB of the processor. ※ It’s strongly recommended to set CPU Vcore and clock in default setting. If the CPU Vcore and clock are not in default setting, it may cause CPU or M/B damage. 30
